Are Zionist Terrorists a protected species? | Spotlight News

In the middle of the last century there was such a thing as Zionist Terrorism but today, criticising Zionism is considered anti-Semitic. Given that Zionism is an ideology supported by many non-Semites, you do have to question why challenging this ideology is considered anti-Semitic at all?

According to Wikipedia, Zionism is both ‘an ideology and nationalist movement’ but it is never described as a religion or a peculiar trait of a specific racial group. Of course that brings me neatly onto the question of how anti-Semitism has become a label that exclusively references people who observe the Jewish faith. Technically, the term ‘Semite’ references a specific Semitic speaking, ethnic, cultural, racial group that lived throughout the ancient Near East, including the Levant, Mesopotamia, the Arabian Peninsula and the Horn of Africa from the third millennium BC. In fact, according to Britannica, the term ‘Semites’ “came to include Arabs, Akkadians, Canaanites, Hebrews, some Ethiopians, and Aramaean tribes… Mesopotamia, the western coast of the Mediterranean, the Arabian Peninsula, and the Horn of Africa”

It’s as if, over the last few decades, the term Semite has been hi-jacked to exclusively reference people who observe the Jewish faith and even includes white European Jews,  most of whom are unlikely to be able to trace their ancestry back to any of the historically Semitic ethnic, cultural or racial groupings. This then begs the questions that if most European Zionists are probably not even ethnically, culturally or racially Semitic, how has it become normalised to label any criticism of Zionism as anti-Semitic? For that matter, as Zionism is effectively an ideology that supports white European colonial occupation of Palestinian Arab lands, why is criticising white European Zionism considered anti-Semitic whilst the occupation and persecution of people who could actually trace their ethnicity, culture and racial grouping back to Semitic peoples not be considered anti-Semitic?
